Taera Hive Imperium Racestyle

Raging Deadstar · #1 April 13th, 2003, 12:20 PM

I like it Taera, i only just downloaded the Version of USY recently after i accepted that despite it being overly green it was a classic shipset. I love the new gold texturing, definatly makes it look good and the new racial portrait is great! I have to admire you Andrey, i don't think anyone on these forums has put so much work onto one shipset as much as you have, well done!

The only Complaint i have is the barge, i think myabe it should have been rendered slightly smaller so it fit in the freame, but other than that this is a great revamp!

Is it Gold Compatible? If not I'll probably use the TDM Modpacks Xi'Chung Ai, i await it as the Taera were a challenging foe in my previous games, if they can use gold technologies like drones it will be an even greater shipset

Trooper: thanks for uploading it AND taking care to find this thread

RD: Thank you for kind words. As for the barge, i made it be so huhge intentionally. Because IT IS a huge ship! i dont think i would scale it down because right now it looks HUGE as it should be, and also there arent any special details not seen

The AI... well im lazy enough to have copied some TDM AI (i believe its Vaxin but i might be wrong) but the speech, anger and a couple more files are personalized. I will put some time and effort into the race AI soon though.

Regarding the effort: you might know in all my 6 years of being here i've done only two sets. I have endless partially done on my PC but only two were truly done. I say that i put a soul into that set and i actually did because i've done it wihtout any knowledge of any of the most powerful tools in the program and i think it still looks good. I spent a whole summer working on it, many long hours. Then i revamped it four times by now. The race portrait itself is a part of a whole bug model which was a month's product and right now at its seventh revision. And i also love this shipset personally and dont even need any more. Thank you for the kind words, its not common that i get feedback on it.

I always thought it was a good shipset. Se4 needs more "abnormal" ship sets. Too many that are just normal ships...

Just downloaded the Empire of Technologic! I have to say it's not as good as the Taera but it's a good set, i really like the dreadnought. I like your work! Just curious but will any of these partially finished shipsets ever see the light of day, i'd love to see some more 0f your stuff
